unused substitutes:

-'entire squad on the bench except Robson, Bailey and Fenwick'

substitute notes:

Peter Shilton breaks his own record in becoming the oldest player to be replaced by a substitute.
This is the third match in which England have used four substitutions. However, this is the first time that they have done it for two matches in a row, and therefore, for the first time twice in one season.

    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

Gary Lineker damaged a wrist so badly that it was feared he would miss the World Cup in this final tuning-up game before the finals. Mark Hateley scored the only goal of a scrappy game against opponents who were out of their depth, but determined not to let England get into any sort of rhythm. The Canadians had also qualified for the finals and were as keen as England for a full-blooded warm-up match, but the action was rarely better than mediocre on what was a dull, depressing, rain-hammered day.  Steve Hodge was the pick of the England players, and with luck might have had a hat-trick.
